T0 all whom it mag; concern:

B e it known than I, J 011N B. BAUMBERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing ab Washington,in the countyof Washingtonand State of Kansas, ha've invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Sash-Fastenersor Window-Stops; ancl I do hereby declare the i'ollowing to be a full, cleaiy and exac irdescription of the invention, suehas will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad 'to the aceo'mpanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference mairked thereon, which form a par t of this speeification.

In the drawings, Fignre 1 i s a perspeotive view of a porti0n of a Wipdow-frame having my improvements applied. -'iig. 2 is a secflonal riew of the same on ehe line w x, Fig l. F1g.- 3 1s a seetional view on thelina Fig. 4 is a detachecl vieiv ofthe eccentrio disk. F1g. 5 1s a sin1ilar view of tize rod, axle o'r shaft. F1g. 6 1s a detached viewo a modified form of stop, which may be usedl with the shaft: or rod.

Like letters refer to like parts wherever th e occur.

My invention relates to thai; elassof deviees -kuown as sash-fasteners or window-st0ps,

. an 'inwardly-projecising featlner or spline, or a shaft or rod cf greater diameter at: its journal ortion, said r'0d provi ded with a longitudinal groove for 1*,he reeeption of tl1e fea'ther in tho eye ot' the stop, ancl an annular groove for the pin or serew whicl1 secures the rod ii1 position ifn E18 casing, all as hereinafiier more fully-set 0- 1. I In the drawings, A indicates a portion of a window-frame, a i:he j amb Where the sash slides und b the inside casing. C represents iihepreferred tb1in'of-stop 011 t'astenerbhat isto say, a plai;x o1 smooth faced disk whieh may be fror live-eighths to an inch 01" inore's in di ameterl and is formed with an eccei1lri allyplaced hole 0r eye, c, for the reception of the operatit1g-rod. This eye may be ahout oneeighth of an inch.from th e pefiphery of the disk. Projeetinginto the'eye or openixigin the di'sk is a fe'athei, key, or splin'e, d, which en- .ga,qes in a groove in the operating-rod.

Eindicates the operating rod orshaft, w.hieh rnay be about three eighths of an inch in diamet er.is wund, and is provided with alongitudinal groove, efor the reception of th spline orfeather d in the eye of tlxevceentric. .This grome may be aboutone-eighth of an inch deep and the same width. The langt-h of rod E will be such that iis will mach thr0ugh the jambwhetheflhe same be wide ornarr.w. This rod E terminates in a knob or handle inside tbe room, 'and abont ar1inchofitslength 1'1extto*theknocrisofincreasefiianxeter=say about five-eightbs ofan inchas atf; and

desoription not for purpose of lim itation as the inventi0n is not dependeni: on the proportion of tlxe parts, bat; simply as a guide in orde'rto faeilitate the oonstrnction of the devices, and

tbe proportions may be ehanged ab will.

Instead of the eccentriedisk with sm'ooth periph ery (the prferred forxn of stop) thest0p orfastener shown at F, Fig.fi may be employed; the eye' berein and the longitudinally-gtooved stem or rod beim g the sameasbeforia deScribed.

'J3wo of tbese devioes are all that will be required for a Window, one being preferably p'Iaoed abonts two and one-lzalit' (2%) inches above the meeting-rails, and the other aboui; the same distance below and opposite' the resplaetive sashes, and they are applied a.s follows: -A holefor the shafi; or 5t emE,'equal in diameter totlnelargest dia m er, f,of thestem 01v a'xle E, is boredinfth "aasing to a. depth eqnal to the lengthggf sai et1larged portionf and a slnaller hole, 'equa l in diameter to the longitudinally-grooved portion of the rod, is continned through i;he j amb. The jamb i's then slotted. for ohe recieption of the eet:ggmtrio C 01 -F -the widtl1 and length of the slotcortiz'spon4i --finally seeured in .position byinserting the 'sorew h ai1d causingnit to pass tlxrough-the auing thereto Theeccentricis enteredin the slot in the jambuntil the eye c is opposite the hole for the rorl E. The rod is ben iuserted in the hole in the easing andpusl1ed tllrough the eye ot the ecoentric, the spline d ot the eccentrio eutering and slidiuglong the longitudinal groove in the stem-E'J 'lhe rod er sbem E is nula.r groove g of the stem.

As the spline or feather preven ;he eccentric (mm turning o n the rod er s;om E, the eccentrio can be baused to wdge 0r bind on the sash and thus support er loek it in'any desitedposition. i

As theeocentricis free to slidelongitudinally on itsshaft. .01. stem or, in other Wo1ds, the stem can pass freely any' distauoe through the eye of the eccentric, in follows that, provided the stem isof sufricient length, the devioes can be redily opplied to any width of jar nb.

Among the advantages of my devices are eheapness, dnrability, simplicity, the rea-rliuess witl1 whielr they can be applied to any windowor widlsh ofjamb, und non-liability to getoutof 0x der or to deface and injure the sash er casing.

As the diameter of the sl:aft is graut-er atthe partf, (er journal.) whioh is not grooved longitudinally, in will be evident t hat the re will be no liability ot the sl'1aft wearing the jamb or easing und -becoming loose, so asrt o afi'eot the proper operation of the deviees, so thatthe usnal metal mortise-frame may be (lisriensed with und, owing 150 the increased diamet8't givento the shaft als f, the annular groove for the retaining sdrew or pin may be made tjereon without weakening the shaft.
